The new companies exempted from environmental qualification may replace the operating license for a simple communication prior to the start of the activity that will save many "administrative procedures and timelines for the start of business."
The Mayor of Puerto Lumbreras, Pedro Antonio Sanchez, accompanied by the Councillor of Commerce, Industry and SMEs, John Cotes, presented at a press conference the new Municipal Ordinance, under which "streamline the procedures for implementation of new companies in the municipality. "
The City of Puerto Lumbreras Full Council has approved a new ordinance for the simplification of administrative procedures in the creation of new enterprises in the locality.
The Mayor, Pedro Antonio Sanchez, accompanied by the Councillor of Commerce, Industry and SMEs, John Cotes, and Council Member of Finance and New Technologies, Genaro Perez, presented this new Municipal Ordinance "with which we intend to simplify the procedures for granting License exempt activities of environmental qualification, and simplify and clarify the documentation, and avoid duplication procedures and changes in ownership relating to licensing activity. "
Thus, the new ordinance streamlines the licensing activity, replacing the processing of licenses for a single advance notice, in those activities that do not require special procedures and which are exempt from environmental assessment.
Thus, the prior notification procedure: is to inform the City Council 15 days in advance of putting up a business, introducing administrative documentation relating to the new company, a statement of the employer responsible for compliance with the requirements and the urban technical certificate, which documents within 15 days can start doing business legally.
In this sense, the Mayor of Puerto Lumbreras, Pedro Antonio Sanchez, explained that "with the approval of the new Municipal Ordinance, will expedite the granting of a large percentage of business licenses in the municipality that will start business with new prior communication system, as during 2011, about 70% of business license applications were exempt from environmental qualification. "
In addition to licensing that do not meet the requirements of the new system of prior notification, the new Municipal Ordinance clarifies and explains the process of dealing with licenses to open, "exposing a classification and characterization of the features of any company wishing to start business, and the procedure and documentation required of new entrepreneurs. "
Procedures Online
Another of the novelties to be incorporated is the option that all documentation is submitted in electronic form, offering in turn the ability to download forms and get the necessary paperwork through the municipal website (www.puertolumbreras.es).
In this regard, Sanchez explained that this measure "administration closer to citizens by providing the new municipal ordinance that explains in detail all the processes and documentation necessary for the creation of any company, without to go to the Technical Office to request the required certificates. "
Finally, Sanchez explained that "this initiative we avoid the high number of trips that entrepreneurs are forced to take to manage the creation of a new company. In short, what we want with the momentum of such measures is to reduce times and making the process easier for entrepreneurs and promote the development of new business and job creation in the town.
